Super excited to announce that our videographer/photographer for the 2026 VWR will be !

Raini sees beauty and hits record. From the colors of the fruit to the energy of the people, he catches what moves him and lets the story tell itself. His lens is guided by care for animals, the earth, and beings too often overlooked — reminding us that celebration and defense of life go hand in hand. With many years of experience capturing other vegan and fruit based events we are beyond grateful to have him on our team!

One extra step we are taking to insure we set the highest bar possible for the VWR! James Weston Schaberg is serving as the Organic Produce Verification Manager, overseeing the sourcing, ordering, receiving, and verification of produce, as well as acting as the point person for any questions about fruits and vegetables during the retreat.

He brings a strong background in organic food systems, with experience working on CSA farms in northern Michigan and at seven natural food stores across the United States. James also spent over two years with the Non-GMO Project, where he deepened his commitment to food integrity and transparency.

In recent years, he has organized and managed an organic produce buying club through IndieFruit and coordinated kitchen operations for Dance Camp Northwest. These roles have sharpened his ability to ensure high-quality sourcing, streamline logistics, and support large groups with nourishing food.

James has lived a plant-based lifestyle since 2007, transitioned to veganism in 2011, and has been following a high-raw diet since 2016, bringing both professional expertise and personal commitment to his work with organic produce.
